JOHN 'DEMAREST, OFl NEW YORK, N. Y., A SSIGNOB'TO THE J. L. MOTT IRONWORKS, OF SAME PLACE. A

STATIONARY WASH-BASIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentA No. 355,439, dated January4, 1887.

Application filed october a, isst.

To all whom, it may concern.: l

Beit known that I, JOHN DEMAREs'r, of the city and State of NewYork,'have invented an 4Improvement in Stationary Vash-Basins, of

which th'e'following is aspeciiication.

Vash-basins have been made with a recess at one side, at the bottom ofwhich the wasteA pipe is connected, and a tubular overflow and valvehave been employed therewith. In cases where the tubular overflow hasbeen guided by the slab to which the basin is connected there has beendifficulty-in properly attachf ing the basin to the slab and in guidingthe overtlowpipe in such a manner that it will remain in its properposition in relation to the .valveseat and overflow-pipe.

My present invention relates to the combination, with the recessed basinhaving the waste-pipe at the bottom of the recess and an overflow-pipeand valve, of a bridge attached firmly to the top of the basin at therecess, and forming a guide for the overflow-pipe, and a tubular nutthat passes through the marble slab and screws into the bridge, so as tofasten the basin firmly to the slab, and the overdowpipe passes throughthe tubular nut, and is removable for cleaning. By this improvement theoverow-pipe and cock and tubular nut' are connected properly to thebasin in the man ufactory, andthe plumber is guided thereby in makingthe proper hole in the marble slab; and the connection of' the basin tothe slab is facilitated and rendered strong, and the risk of the partsbeing misplaced is removed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical section lof the basin and partsconnected therewith. Fig. 2 is a vertical section at right angles toFig. l, the overliow-pipe being in elevation; andFig. 3 is a plan at therecess of the basin.

The basin A is round or oval, and at one side or corner there is arecess, B, that is adapted to receive the overflow-pipe C and thecoupling D for the waste-pipe, and thevalve-seat at the upper end ofsaid coupling.

The overliow-pipe and valve are to be of any desired character. I haveshown the openings at 3 in the overflow-pipe at the highest water-levelfor the basin, and the cap E is 5o screwed upon the top of theoVerliow-pipe and held bya lock-nut, 4.

My special feature of improvement relates Serial No. 215,115. (Nomodel.)

to the metallic bridge G, that is received into the recessed iiange 5 atthe top edge of the vertical recess B, and this bridge is( firmlyconnected to the basin by the screws 6, pass ing through the bridge andthrough holes in the porcelain flange 5 of the basin, where the same isrecessed for the reception of said bridge. In this bridge is an opening,the center of 6o which is in line with the center of the wastepipecoupling, and into thisbridge passes the tubular socket H, having aflange to res't upon the marble slab, and said socket is of a sufi cientlength to pass through the marble slab and the bridge, and to be securedby being screwed into the bridge, lor by a nut below the bridge andaround the socket. Inhave shown the socket as screwing directly into thebridge.

The overflow-pipe and its valve can be lifted 7o entirely out of thebasin, as the tubular socket is sufficiently large for the passage ofthesame, and I provide a pin, 10, in the tubular socket H, and a slot,11, in the cap, having an angle therein that allows the Valve andoverowpipe to be supported bythe pin when the same has beensnicientlyraised for the discharge of Athe water.

[ claim as my invention- 4l. The combination, with the a recess at oneside thereof and a recessed or notched Hangc at the top part, of ametallic bridge and vbolts to connect the bridge to the e recessedIilange, and a flanged socket passing thro-ugh the slab and into'thebridge, so as to 85 connect thc basin to the slab, and the overlow'pipepassing through the flanged socket, and the valve'at the lower end ofthe overflow-pipe, and the coupling for the waste-pipe at the bottom ofthe recess in the basin, sub- 9o stantially as set forth. y

2. The combination, with the basin having a recess at one side and adischarge-pipe at the bottom of the recess, of a metallic bridge at theIupper endof the recess, and attached to the basin, and a tubular socketto pass through the marble slab and screw into the bridge, substantiallyas set forth. v Signed by me this 28th day of September,

JOHN DEMAREST.
